“Feel the AGI! Feel the AGI!” employees reportedly chanted, per The Atlantic, a refrain that was led by Sutskever himself. The chief scientist even commissioned a wooden effigy to represent an “unaligned” AI that works against the interest of humanity, only to set it on fire.
Rant about how they are crazy and all, but I wish my company did such meaningful team building experiences, our last off-site was some meh hike with casual talk, I want to see my manager chanting creepy stuff while a wooden sculpture burns in the background :/
Why does it feel like everybody at OpenAI has lost their mind?
Indeed. Indeed.
Everybody involved with OpenAI seems to be going insane
The line between lunatic and genius is thin
The line between lunatic and marketing is thin.
I think it is more like the line between marketing and lying is thin.
If you look into who and why AI has been so heavily researched, it’s literally because these idiots see God as the end result. They’ve been making AI based on how they think God works, should work, etc.
Scary shit.
The world is weird as fuck.
